Herbolzheim Keramik

1957-1991

Herbolzheim Keramik (Herbolzheim Erich Locke GmbH & Co. KG) was established in 1957 and by 1959 they employed 45 people. As the name suggests it was located in Herbolzheim in the south west of Germany, close to the French border. The factory closed in 1991.

The factory specialised in production of ceramic wall surrounds, though they also produced plates/bowls/wall plaques.
